· Civil Society Organizations in Netherlands: The co-financing system (MFS II) in 2011-2015 supports Dutch NGOs for actions that strengthen civil society in the developing world. The framework accommodates NGOs in the Netherlands for projects lasting from three to five years. Dutch organizations are required to implement their programs via community-based or service organizations in the developing countries.

· Civil Society Organizations in Developing Countries: The Dutch diplomatic missions are able to make grants to civil society organizations in developing countries.

TVG Notes: (i) The Netherlands offers additional grant funding in the areas of health, gender equality, and humanitarian aid — which may interest grant seekers who cross-link with those issues. (ii) The Ministry offers grants and subsidies for public-private partnerships, grants to individuals with projects and small businesses, knowledge institutions, humanitarian institutions, young and innovative organizations, and others. Details are available on the Dutch version of the Ministry’s website. In general, only Dutch applicants are eligible.
